LETTER: America is on a downward slide

When I look at what America has become — a country run and ruled by and benefiting only the wealthy, with crime, homelessness, inflation and racism/antisemitism rising and totally out of control — it’s easy to see why. Just look at our current 80-year-old president and the previous three before him, all multimillionaires with failed policies. And look further at our elected officials, all about themselves, their benefits and their power to skirt the law. And let’s not forget the lifetime jobs given to partisan Supreme Court judges, who we discover believe that they are above the law and untouchable, and who abuse the law to their benefit.

Being a senior with limited time left, it’s horrible to see this country I contributed to and worked hard to protect so I could grow old in become so far removed from the one in which my wonderful parents raised me.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
